    Which Way Is Up

    Howdy All, Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you remove a pre-dec coin from the dirt that one side is worse for wear then the other :o Does anyone know which is usually the worse side, the side facing up, or the side facing down. :D There is a difference. Probably due to the moisture...

    Really Wierd animal scream out in the bush

    Mmm definitely sounds like a Manbearpig to me. I've only ever seen sketches of them until the the other day when someone managed to get a picture of one before it ate him. Be careful out there boys and girls ;)

    Garrett ATX Information and Questions

    Garrett ATX Information and Questions

    Hi Ben, I realise that, I should have said that the machine will be used for mainly beach and relic hunting. :8 I use a 5000 in the goldfields, but would probably use the other machine as a back up if the need arises.

    Any ideas on my find ?

    Is the hallmark an actual hallmark, or initials, maybe the makers stamp or ID. I can't see the pic very good, I'm old ;)

    Garrett ATX Information and Questions

    So you don't have to ground balance as often as with the Minelabs. I'm going to get another machine soon and still deciding whether to get the ATX or a CTX. I've been hearing some pretty sad stories about the 3030 of late. :/

    Garrett ATX Information and Questions

    How do you go with ground balancing the thing. With the GPX you ground balancing every couple of metres or so, sometimes. How often do you have to ground balance the ATX?
